It must be that so-called seal.
"The reason you had me bring you to the Divine Pool."
"Is it to break the seal?"
Yao Qing nodded silently, candidly admitting it.
"Yes, but it's not just that."
"The seal once placed by the Eternal Sleep Sect was both a constraint and a protection. If I were to completely remove the constraint, recklessly absorbing personality, I would have likely become a mentally fragmented monster by now. If I want to maintain a pure autonomous consciousness, I have to, in turn, refine the Illusionary Dream Pearl..."
"For me, it's a transformation beyond imagination."
"If successful, I will completely break the seal and grasp the capabilities of Wanxiang. There will no longer be any hidden dangers, and I will truly become a person."
After her words, the hall fell into a slight silence.
"Why tell me all this?"
Bai Xiao spoke, gazing intently at Yao Qing.
